I am an assistant professor at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan. My research involves mostly symbiotic microorganisms, but I (and recently also my kids) really enjoy finding and taking pictures of all kinds of eukaryotes.

If you're a scientist looking for specific Okinawan species (e.g., for genomics, molecular phylogenies, etc.), feel free to contact me. My research group has experience with sampling and research permit applications in Okinawa and we will try to do our best to assist you with your project.
